You’re invited to meet Tartan alumni, fellow students, parents, supporters and more at a casual, fun get-together this summer before you head to campus to start your first year as a CMU student. They are excited to welcome you to the community!
Please note that Summer Send-offs are planned and hosted by CMU alumni network volunteers and are not presented by the university itself.
The current list of upcoming Summer Send-offs are listed below, and more locations and dates will be added in the coming weeks, so check back to see if your city has been listed!
